Nan's come to stay!!

Crikey ..... you won't be hearing much from me for the next few weeks. Nan (my Mum's 96 year old Mum) has come to stay. She's a full time job according to Mum. So what ..... I'm a full time job and Mum seems to manage me and all my demands.  She also manages Dad and all his demands and she does manage to fit in some babysitting duties and manage Dad's business office work as well. So ...... how come she can't manage to fit Nan in there somewhere without me having to be the one who suffers neglect?  A few Secretarial duties here and there isn't too much to ask ... IS IT??? Apparently it is. So I might be a bit quiet over the next few weeks. I sure hope you will forgive me cause I'm not all that sure that I'm going to forgive Mum. Not that I don't like Nan coming to stay. I do!! We have a good time together. I get to keep her company all day long and I'm allowed on her bed. She LOVES me. I put my head on her lap and snooze and she just pats me and pats me. Crikey it feels good.

Crikey ..... we look pretty good for our age, aye??

I get so much attention and we get lots of visitors. Mum says they are coming to see Nan but I'm here to tell you it's me they are all coming to see. 

This is my very favourite visitor so far. He's a friend of one of my 2 legged sisters. He looks kinda scary, aye? Like a mountain man or something but he's real nice and gentle. He LOVES his dog. Funny dog for a mountain man to have, aye? The dog's name is Charlie. Two Charlies together! We had a great time.

We do have a few new rules around the house. I've got to be awful careful not to leave my toys lying around and I've been told in no uncertain terms that I must not walk around Nan's legs and trip her up. Mum's been watching me like a hawk. I do have a bit of trouble with both those rules but so far so good ...... no accidents!!
Nan's a great big sneak .... just like me! It's great. She sneaks me biscuits and lollies ... AND .... how good is this?????  CHOCOLATE!!!!!!  I LOVE chocolate!  So does Nan.  Dark chocolate!! ..... you know ... the kind we canine blokes aren't supposed to eat. What's with that???? Why did God make it taste so good if we weren't allowed to eat it? Nan doesn't care. She gives it to me anyway. Mum gave her a right dressing down when she caught her at it but Nan won't remember that. She doesn't remember anything much these days. Mum reckons the only things she remembers are the things she doesn't want her to remember. Too funny, aye???  Anyway I love Nan. She's almost as naughty as me.

Some of Nan's stash of goodies!!

A bit more of the stash!! That's the chocolate I LOVE!!

Our house has been invaded by all sorts of weird stuff. It's a right nightmare.  Everywhere you look there's some sort of weird Nan paraphernalia AND medication.  OMD I've never seen so many pills. Mum hates disorder. She likes to have everything neat and tidy so she's not too happy about all the stuff everywhere but she loves her Mum so she copes. If Dad or I try to have our stuff all over the house she stresses out and makes our life a misery with her moans and groans but it's ok for her Mum. Hmmmmmmmmph!!!!!!!

So ...... please forgive me if I'm awful quiet for a week or two but don't worry ..... I'll be back!!!  Just like that Arnold bloke, aye?  I'll miss you all. I'll try and keep up with all your blogs but I mightn't have time for too many comments. Crikey gotta go ..... Nan's rattling those chocolate wrappers again!!!!!

Wanna run ... Love, Charlie.
